I Will Not Take These Things for Granted

<br>One part of me just wants to tell you everything<br><br>One part just needs the quiet<br><br>And if Im lonely here, Im lonely here<br><br>And on the telephone<br><br>You offer reassurance<br><br><br><br>I will not take these things for granted<br><br><br><br>How can I hold the part of me that only you can carry<br><br>It needs a strength I havent found<br><br>But if its frightening, Ill bear the cold<br><br>And on the telephone<br><br>You offer warm asylum<br><br><br><br>Im listening<br><br>Flowers in the garden<br><br>Laughter in the hall<br><br>Children in the park<br><br>I will not take these things for granted<br><br>Anymore<br><br><br><br>To crawl inside the wire and feel something near me<br><br>To feel this accepting<br><br>That it is lonely here, but not alone<br><br>And on the telephone<br><br>You offer visions dancing<br><br><br><br>Im listening<br><br>Music in the bedroom<br><br>Laughter in the hall<br><br>Dive into the ocean<br><br>Singing by the fire<br><br>Running through the forest<br><br>And standing in the wind<br><br>In rolling canyons<br><br><br><br>I will not take these things for granted
